One thing I learned from the last Sock Summit is that, for me at least, having knitting classes 4 straight days in a row is a recipe for being really really exhausted by Sunday afternoon. This time, I planned for that and allowed myself a day of no classes whatsoever on Friday. It worked out pretty well.

I spent a few hours strolling around the marketplace (acquired 2 more skeins plus a 15-minte chair massage which was GREAT), and chatting with knitters there;

Then I had the most delicious brown rice bowl for lunch from a food cart, which I ate too fast to be able to take a picture of it, visited a cupcake place and scarfed down a life-changing chocolate ganache cupcake, and hit Powell’s later with some fellow knitters. (Powell’s were ready for the knitters).

And, oh yes – I finished the crochet bind-off on my Peacock Feathers shawl and then BLOCKED IT. (Thank you, hotel bed). I do indeed get to wear it as my birthday shawl today.

Today for my birthday I get to take knitting classes all day, shop with knitters, then have dinner with knitters. Looking forward to all of it!

Oooooo, happy birthday GlennaC! How fabulous that you will wear your very beautiful shawl today. BTW, today is also my daughter’s birthday, who is also an avid knitter and fan of your designs. I hope that your stash budget is holding up well enough to treat yourself that that extra special skein today.

Happy Birthday. What a great place to celebrate a birthday. Thank you for the pictures, they are wonderful. Remember I’m attending Sock Summit vicariously through, so the updates and pictures are greatly appreciated.
Smiles,

I didn’t came here like a week or so, and now seeing your posts about an event that is every knitters’ dream and all those beautiful photos I feel like in a candy shop. Thanks for sharing it with us, less fortunate ones.
I’m so sorry for saying this late : Happy Birthday Glenna!
PS: Thanks for encouraging me to start a Pi shawl, I did and I’m very happy knitting it.
